Whiter Teeth For The New Year In Bedford?
Give your smile a boost with our fast acting teeth whitening procedure!
Most of us will be going into the new year with some resolutions, or at least a ‘wish list’ of things that we want to achieve. It is probably no surprise then, that we tend to see a rise, in January, in the number of patients attending our Bedford dentists, for our popular teeth whitening procedure.
Our teeth become darker for a number of reasons. Some of this is caused by surface staining from products such as tea and red wine, both of which contain tannin which is notorious for staining the teeth.
There are certainly some things that you can do yourself to help keep your teeth as white as possible. In addition to moderating staining drinks, and other staining foodstuffs, you should:
- Brush your teeth correctly twice a day. This will help to remove surface deposits, as well as helping to keep the teeth healthy.
- Avoid high sugar or citrus drinks. These can damage the surface enamel, allowing it to become stained more easily. It also means that the darker inner part of your teeth starts to become visible. More about that shortly.
- Don’t smoke. Not only is smoking extremely likely to make your teeth yellow, or even brown, it is incredibly harmful and is a leading cause of oral cancer. Heavy smokers where staining is severe, may need to have a more complex cosmetic procedure to fit dental veneers if they wish to have their teeth whitened.
As we mentioned, the inner part of our teeth is often darker than the enamel and gets progressively darker as we age. This is something which happens naturally, however well we care for our teeth. The only way that you can restore this part of the tooth to a lighter shade, is through a cosmetic treatment known as teeth whitening.
Whitening your teeth
The teeth whitening treatment that we offer at The Dental Centre Bedford is not only fast acting but also affordable and non invasive. Depending on the degree of staining, patients should expect to see an improvement in the whiteness of their teeth, by up to eight shades. There should be no discomfort from this procedure and we will explain it in more detail during your initial teeth whitening consultation. This will also allow us to also check the health of your teeth and gums and treat any existing problems before we whiten your teeth.
